Maersk Training UK has named Leonardo Machado as its new managing director as the company looks to expand its offering to the North Sea energy sector.
Machado (pictured) was previously managing director of the company’s operations in Brazil for six years.
He is aiming to make Maersk Training UK the preferred training and solution partner across the oil and gas and renewables sectors.
Machado said: “Moving to the UK to take up this role seemed like a natural step in my career.
“I was very attracted to the new challenge and the opportunities available in the UK.
“Compared to Brazil, the North Sea is a much more mature marketplace where there is a greater desire for a higher calibre of training.
“My goal is to be seen not as a training provider, but as a partner as companies develop and adapt their safety needs.”
